Description of Floats. 


The illustration of the progress of Cleveland's first century is 
shown on twenty-four magnificent floats, averaging 16x26 feet in 
dimensions, headed by a gorgeous car of Progress. The theme is: 
Cleveland a hundred years ago; the passage of time, beginning 
with the days of the week, typified by their mythological origin, 
multiplied into the months of the year, then the year, and then the 
century, closing with Cleveland of 1896. 



Float No. 1—PROGRESS: or Cleveland of the Twentieth 
Century.— Like all the floats following it. it is attended by twelve 
grooms and torch-bearers in livery. On the front of the platform 
three heralds are seen mounted on gray chargers in the attitude of 
full speed. With blasts from long silver trumpets they announce 
the opening of the new century and the triumphant march of prog¬ 
ress. The great dome of the float, garlanded with flowers, rises 
behind the heralds and discloses the figure of “ Progress,” robed 
in kingly magnificence, seated on a throne between two figures 
representing not only two potential factors in the sum of Cleve¬ 


land’s greatness, but the handmaids of Progress in all human 
achievement, viz.: “ Faith ” and “ Industry.” Surrounding the 
platform are seen four figures appropriately costumed, represent¬ 
ing “ Commerce,” “ Law,” “Art,” and “ Music,” the whole 
being emblematic of the material, ethical, and aesthedcal phases of 
our civilization. The figure of “ Progress ” is arrayed in a robe 
of cherry-colored satin, with blue panels and heavily brocaded 
sleeves. From his diamond blazing helmet, with its golden Mercury 
wings, to the jewel-encrusted sandals on his feet, he stands a type 
of the magnificent achievement of the closing Nineteenth century. 



Float No. 2 —CLEVELAND OF 1796 .—The second float takes 
the spectator backward one hundred years to the landing of Moses 
Cleaveland. The Cuyahoga River is seen flowing between verdure 


16 






covered banks backed by giant forest trees. An Indian wigwam 
with its dnsky dwellers occupies the foreground. Two pioneers, 
dressed in hunting garb, wield ax and spade in preparing for the 
rude settlement. The surveyor, in military coat and leather 
breeches, is running the first line. A log cabin partially completed 
fills up the background, while “ The Founder ” is giving directions 
to all the crude activities that mark the foundations of the great 
metropolis of to-day. General Cleaveland is dressed in three- 
cornered hat, puffed wig, plum-colored coat of colonial cut, knee 
breeches to match and leggings of undressed leather. 

THE STORY OF THE DAYS. 



Float No. 3—SUNDAY.—The first day of the week with the 
Romans was “ Dies Solis,” which became the Saxon “ Sonnenn- 
daeg, ” also meaning the day of the sun. Among the Norse people 
the sun was personified by a goddess driving through the heavens 


a flaming chariot drawn by the horses Avakar the Watchful and 
Alswith the Rapid. On this float appear first two radiant female 
figures representing sunrise and sunset. They are guiding a boat 
over the rippling waves of the sea. In the center of the boat with¬ 
in the shadow cast by the golden sail sits the goddess of the sun. 
It is daybreak, and the glittering ruler of the day is rising out of 
the ocean at the “edge of the world.” The sun goddess is dressed 
in orange-colored silk skirt, spangled with gold, with a tunic of 
silk brocaded grenadine trimmed in gold and white. Her Eliza¬ 
bethan collar, edged with a golden frill, emblematic of the sun, 
completes the glowing picture. Sunrise, one of her attendants, is 
dressed in lavendar silk skirt, brocaded in gold, with sunbursts, set 
off by a golden tunic, with wide Grecian sleeves, decorated in long 
points, each one bearing a golden ball. Sunset, the other attend¬ 
ant, dressed in rich persimmon green, her tunic of the same 
material, richly decorated in gold, and also wearing a golden collar, 
gently wields her long Egyptian paddle, as the flower-decked 
barque glides along. 

Float No. 4 —MONDAY. —As the first da)’ was given to the sun, 
so the second was devoted to the glory of the moon, alike by the 
Romans and the Saxons. The moon also moves across the heavens 
in a chariot drawn by white horses. In Norse mythology the moon 
is represented by Mani, the brother of Sol, the sun, both of whom 
were children of the giant Mundifare. They were so named by 
their father on account of their extraordinary beauty. The gods, 
incensed at the presumption of the father,Hook his children and 
placed them in the heavens to guide the courses of the sun and 
moon. A wolf named Skol pursues the sun in its course, and an¬ 
other, the giant wolf Maanagarm, the moon swallower, follows 
swiftly after the luminary of the night, bent upon destruction. 
According to a dismal prediction, both the sun and the moon will at 
last be swallowed up,the earth will be darkened, the howling winds 
will be let loose, and this giant wolf, who subsists on the life-blood 


17 







of dying men, will sate himself with the blood of all the dying. 
The central idea of this float is a crescent moon, drawn by two 
milk-white horses, rolling over fleecy clouds, while Mani, who directs 
the course of the moon, stands upon the forward portion of her 
crescent, holding in his hand the staff tipped with her small silver 
counterpart. Figures representing each quarter of the moon stand 
at the four corners of the float. The first quarter is personified by 
a figure clad in a coat of silver cloth, ornamented by golden balls 



and silver points, steel gray cloak and trousers, large silver collar 
with silver points. The jolly-faced full moon is dressed in golden 
cloth; on his enormous head is perched a tiny stovepipe hat. The 
moon’s last quarter is represented by a figure in dark blue glitter 
cloth, ornamented by sunset-colored copper balls. Dressed in 
delicately shaded cloth of silver, with blue trimmings and trousers 
of light blue satin, the new moon, conscious of his unripe youth, 
views his surroundings with bashful mien. 


Float No. 5—TUESDAY.—Tuesday was given to the war god, 
Tyr, by the Norsemen, this deity corresponding to the Roman 
Mars. In the frightful struggle between the Norse gods and their 
enemies, it is Tyr who goes forth to assault the most fearful monster 



of all—the great dog Garma, chained within the cave. They fight, 
and kill each other in the struggle. This conflict is represented on 
the float. The dog is a striking figui'e,standing nine feet in height, 
with bristling hair and flashing eyes, awaiting the attack. 

Float No. 6—WEDNESDAY. —The fourth day of the week 
was Mercury’s day among the Norsemen, and the Saxon’s Woden’s 
day, or the day of Woden or Odin. Odin, the chief of all the gods, 
the fountain-head of wisdom, the founder of culture, writing, and 
poetry, the progenitor of kings, the lord of battles and victory, sat 
upon a throne overlooking all the world. He was accompanied by 
two ravens, who sat upon his shoulders and whispered in his ears, 
and they were supposed to signify memory and reflection. The 














float is an artistic portrayal of a beautiful courtyard, which passes 
between two stately buttresses, the portico leading to the magnifi¬ 
cent palace Walhalla, the “Court of the Gods.” In the fore¬ 
ground is seen the war god, Odin, mounted upon his eight-limbed 


steed, Sleipner, riding forth to battle. His armour and kingly 
trappings are of royal magnificence. He is armed with the spear 
“ Gunger, ” and his horse is richly caparisoned in cloth of gold and 
long golden spear points. 

Float No. 7—THURSDAY.—Among the Norsemen, Thor bears 
the honors on Thursday, as does his counterpart, Jupiter, in the 
Roman mythology. Thor, who was the son of Odin, was united in 
wedlock to Sif, the golden-haired goddess who betokens Mother 
Earth. This powerful god, in the Ragnarock, which is the twilight 
of the gods and foreshadows the final destruction of the earth, goes 
forth to meet the monstrous Midgard serpent in the Guipa Cave. 


He smites the serpent with his mighty hammer, and it falls dead 
upon the spot; but Thor, retreating from the conflict, is overcome 
by the venom which the dying serpent vomits forth, and he, too, 
dies. The wonderful palace of Thor, supported by its 540 pillars, 
glittering in the electric light, forms the background for float No. 
7, representing Thursday. Thor is depicted in the center standing 
just in front of his beautiful wife, who is watching him in the act 
of smiting, with his death-dealing hammer, the colossal Midgard 
serpent. The monster serpent darting forth zig-zag lightning 
from its ferocious mouth, its glittering fangs, the scales upon its 
half-erect body shining in all the colors of the rainbow as it rises 
for the deadly combat, and towers a horrible apparition above the 



head of the god, forms in itself a picture not easily to be forgotten. 
The costumes of Thor and his queenly wife are surpassingly brill¬ 
iant, and form no less important features of this most striking picture. 


Float No. 8—FRIDAY.—Friday takes its name from the Saxon 
deity, Friga, or Freyja, and was among the Romans dedicated to 
Venus. Freyja was born fair and mighty, and divided with Odin 


19 






of dying men, will sate himself with the blood of all the dying. 
The central idea of this float is a crescent moon, drawn by two 
milk-white horses, rolling over fleecy clouds, while Mani, who directs 
the course of the moon, stands upon the forward portion of her 
crescent, holding in his hand the staff tipped with her small silver 
counterpart. Figures representing each quarter of the moon stand 
at the four corners of the float. The first quarter is personified by 
a figure clad in a coat of silver cloth, ornamented by golden balls 



and silver points, steel gray cloak and trousers, large silver collar 
with silver points. The jolly-faced full moon is dressed in golden 
cloth; on his enormous head is perched a tiny stovepipe hat. The 
moon’s last quarter is represented by a figure in dark blue glitter 
cloth, ornamented by sunset-colored copper balls. Dressed in 
delicately shaded cloth of silver, with blue trimmings and trousers 
of light blue satin, the new moon, conscious of his unripe youth, 
views his surroundings with bashful mien. 


Float No. 5—TUESDAY. —Tuesday was given to the war god, 
Tyr, by the Norsemen, this deity corresponding to the Roman 
Mars. In the frightful struggle between the Norse gods and their 
enemies, it is Tyr who goes forth to assault the most fearful monster 



of all—the great dog Garmu, chained within the cave. They fight, 
and kill each other in the struggle. This conflict is represented on 
the float. The dog is a striking figure,standing nine feet in height, 
with bristling hair and flashing eyes, awaiting the attack. 

Float No. 6—WEDNESDAY.—The fourth day of the week 
was Mercury’s day among the Norsemen, and the Saxon’s Woden’s 
day, or the day of Woden or Odin. Odin, the chief of all the gods, 
the fountain-head of wisdom, the founder of culture, writing, and 
poetry, the progenitor of kings, the lord of battles and victory, sat 
upon a throne overlooking all the world. He was accompanied by 
two ravens, who sat upon his shoulders and whispered in his ears, 
and they were supposed to signify memory and reflection. The 












float is an artistic portrayal of a beautiful courtyard, which passes 
between two stately buttresses, the portico leading to the magnifi¬ 
cent palace Walhalla, the “Court of the Gods.’’ In the fore¬ 
ground is seen the war god, Odin, mounted upon his eight-limbed 



steed, Sleipner, riding forth to battle. His armour and kingly 
trappings are of royal magnificence. He is armed with the spear 
“ Gunger,” and his horse is richly caparisoned in cloth of gold and 
long golden spear points. 

Float No. 7—THURSDAY.— Among the Norsemen, Thor bears 
the honors on Thursday, as does his counterpart, Jupiter, in the 
Roman mythology. Thor, who was the son of Odin, was united in 
wedlock to Sif, the golden-haired goddess who betokens Mother 
Earth. This powerful god, in the Ragnarock, which is the twilight 
of the gods and foreshadows the final destruction of the earth, goes 
forth to meet the monstrous Midgard serpent in the Guipa Cave. 


He smites the serpent with his mighty hammer, and it falls dead 
upon the spot; but Thor, retreating from the conflict, is overcome 
by the venom which the dying serpent vomits - forth, and he, too, 
dies. The wonderful palace of Thor, supported by its 540 pillars, 
glittering in the electric light, forms the background for float No. 
7, representing Thursday. Thor is depicted in the center standing 
just in front of his beautiful wife, who is watching him in the act 
of smiting, with his death-dealing hammer, the colossal Midgard 
serpent. The monster serpent darting forth zig-zag lightning 
from its ferocious mouth, its glittering fangs, the scales upon its 
half-erect body shining in all the colors of the rainbow as it rises 
for the deadly combat, and towers a horrible apparition above the 



head of the god, forms in itself a picture not easily to be forgotten. 
The costumes of Thor and his queenly wife are surpassingly brill¬ 
iant, and form no less important features of this most striking picture. 

Float No. 8—FRIDAY. —Friday takes its name from the Saxon 
deity, Friga, or Freyja, and was among the Romans dedicated to 
Venus. Freyja was born fair and mighty, and divided with Odin 


19 







the slain upon the battlefield, her part being to take those hap¬ 
pily married who had fallen in battle and to unite them 
with their lovers in the spirit world. In a pillared and cur¬ 
tained temple of gold, in Norse mythology, Friday takes its 
name. Freya, the wife of Odin, the goddess of love, stands 
upon the steps of the temple. The entrance”is guarded by two 
hideous monsters. [Freya is accompanied by two attendants, 


one of whom is costumed in a gown of crushed raspberry color, 
under a tunic of lavender, trimmed with changeable pink flowers 
and gold brocade. The other is habited in lemon-colored brocaded 
skirt, bearing a heavy gold band at the bottom. The goddess her¬ 
self is beautiful in a costume of light blue silk, trimmed with silver, 
and a long tunic of old gold, with pink and white border. Stones 
of priceless value glitter in the triangular diadem upon her head. 

Float No. 9—SATURDAY. —The closing day of the week is 
the only one whose name is taken by English-speaking people 


direct from the Roman mythology. Its name indicates its origin 
in that of Saturn. Jupiter, called “the father of the gods,’’ was 
the son of Saturn and Rhea, who were of the race of Titans. The 
story runs that Saturn was dethroned by Jupiter, when he fled to 
Italy, where he reigned through what was called “the golden age.’’ 
The feast of Saturnalia was held every year in the winter season, 
in memory of his beneficent dominion. A marble figure of Saturn 
stands in the center of the broad platform of the float, between 
the pillars of a beautiful Grecian temple. Around him dance, in 
sportive abandon, a merry crew of carnival figures. It is the feast 
of Saturn, the Saturnalia, and fun seems to be in the air. One of 



the rollicking crew is dressed in green harlequin tights and rain¬ 
bow-colored tunic. Another merry reveller is dressed in a rain¬ 
bow-colored robe, while a long cloak of blue satin floats out from 
her shoulders. The jester and the clown are doing their part, and 
adding their contributions to the overflowing mirth.

THE STORY OF THE MONTHS. 


Float No. tO—JANUARY. —Although March originally led the 
year, the modern calendar has been followed. From the Latin 
word Janua, meaning a door, comes the title of our first month. 
In the Roman mythology, Janus or Januarus was represented with 
two faces, one looking to the past, the other to the future, to sug¬ 



gest that he stood between the old and the new year. He it is who 
unlocks the seasons and opens the door of the coming year. Aqua¬ 
rius, the water bearer, is his zodiacal sign, signifying the plentiful 
rains which fall in Southern Europe during this month. In the 
front, upon a pedestal bearing the words “ Past ” and “ Future,” 
stands the two-faced god Janus, looking at once backward and for¬ 
ward, and bearing in his hand the mysterious key which unlocks 
the years. The pedestal is upon the shore of a miniature sea. In 
the center, at the gunwale of a boat, ready to leap into the depth, 
is a diver, rigged with a modern outfit, including rubber suit, cap 
and air tubes. With him in the boat stands a sailor with weather¬ 
beaten face. In the background, sharply defined against a golden 


sunburst, stands the water god, Aquarius, his long white beard, 
golden trident, and jar from which he continuously pours a flood of 
water, make up a striking picture. Panels of gold adorn his flow¬ 
ing gown, and a flower-embroidered tunic of rich wine color en¬ 
hances the majesty of the figure. 

Float No. \\ —FEBRUARY. —In the Roman calendar the sec¬ 
ond month takes its name from the Latin word februare—to expiate, 
to purify—signifying the universal practice of religious expiation 
and purification common among the Romans at the beginning of 
this month. The month also signifies the fertility of nature. The 
zodiacal sign is Pisces, the fish, or Februarius, the fish god. He is 



seen surrounded by fishes, which was supposed to symbolize resur¬ 
rection of the agricultural arts after the deluge, or copious rains in 
the preceding month. The fish has always been associated mystic¬ 
ally with the idea of life after death, not only among the Romans 
and other pagans of the East, but it was a symbol of a common 
faith among the early Christians, and probably derived its signifi¬ 
cance from the idea of the resurrection rather than from the fact 


21 











that many of the apostles had been fishermen. A marble figure of 
the god Februarius, seated in a chair, upon which are twined for 
arms and back two large fishes, adorns the front of float No. 12, 
representing February. Monster fishes are angling in the depth 
of the sea. Great numbers of the finny tribes are sporting on the 
surface. 



Float No. 12—MARCH. —The third month was the first month 
in the earl}' Roman calendar, deriving its name from the god Mars, 
or Martius. The zodiacal sign is Aries, or the Ram. The sign 
signifying'the increasing power of the sun's rays, which in ancient 
hieroglyphics were expressed not by straight lance-like beams, as 
with us, but by the curving horns of animals, giving the rays of 
the sim the appearance of tongues of flame. The ram was usually 
offered at the sacrificial worship during this month, and was, for 
that reason, also a sign or symbol of March. This float bears at its 
front in a semi-circle of beautiful columns a statue of Mars himself, 
panoplied for war, while on either side stands a wolf and a hare. 
Upon a pedestal in front of the zodiacal sign of the month is a 


gigantic ram, shaking his golden horns, dancing a lithesome step, 
while he quaffs a merry bumper from a golden goblet in his hand. 
In the center, a shepherd guards his flock, costumed in the short 
knee breeches, dark red jacket, with the golden trimmings of the 
Italian peasant class. He is accompanied by his faithful dog. 

Float No. 13—APRIL. —April is the month of Venus. Its first 
day was specially set aside for the festival of this goddess. It 
marked the time when the season of vegetation opened, the trees, 
flowers, and grasses sprang into life. For this reason April is sup¬ 
posed to take its name from the Latin word “Apperio,” “ I open.” 



It was called among the Anglo-Saxons the “ Oster-Monath, ” or the 
month of the east winds, and it is supposed the term Easter came 
from the same origin. Taurus, the Bull, is the zodiacal sign of 
the month, because originally in the old Chaldean calendar the 
year began with the month of April at the time noted in the 
heavens by the sign of the bull. Their conception of the heavenly 
bodies was of the sun toiling onward like a gigantic bull drawing a 















shining plow with which he furrowed out the pathway of the sun. 
“ Taurus,” the zodiacal name for April, stands out in golden let¬ 
ters upon the screen which forms the background of float No. 13. 
The great bull himself sits upon a throne immediately in front of 
the screen. He is gorgeously attired in a dark green coat, red vest, 
and a tall white collar. Among the beautiful flowers which form 
a carpet in front of his majesty, the “ rosebud,” dressed in apple- 
green tights and dainty shirt waist with pink sleeves, is having a 
merry dance with “appleblossom, ” similarly attired. In front of 
the float rises a gigantic night-blooming cereus. This is a wonder¬ 
ful creation. By an intricate hidden mechanism its enormous 
petals are made to open and close, and snugly ensconced inside the 
flower a figure of the centennial mascot, dressed completely in a 
costume familiar to all lovers of Punch and Judy, disports in the 
heart of the flower. 


Float No. 14—MAY.— May, the month of early flowers, comes 
next. The origin of its name is obscure, probably named for Maia, 


the mother of the god Hermes. Gemini, the Twins, named for 
Castor and Pollux, the twin sons of Jupiter and Leda, is the zodiacal 
sign this month. Pollux was supposed to be immortal, while Castor 
was mortal. They were patron deities of mariners, and are the 
two brightest stars in the constellations bearing their names. The 
float is one wild tangle of green leaves, gigantic roses, and other 
floral beauties. Upon the screen in the background is the zodiacal 
sign, Gemini, and before it stands the “ heavenly twins,” from 
whom its name is derived. Two heads surmounting one body, sup¬ 
ported by three legs, are a startling innovation, but when adorned 
by two stovepipe hats, large white neckties, and full dress coats, 
they are “a sight to behold.” In striking contrast with this figure 
is the beautiful Maia, the May queen, dressed in the gauziest text¬ 
ures, her head surmounted by an emerald butterfly, a golden girdle 
around her waist, and butterfly wings of shaded gauze at her 
shoulders. She sits at the front of the float. Her throne is the 
open petals of a full-blown rose. In her hand she bears a wand 
gracefully entwined with flowers. 

Float No. 15—JUNE. —From Juno, queen of the gods, the 
beautiful wife of Jupiter, the month of June derives its name. 
She is the patron of femininity, the special protectress of every¬ 
thing relating to marriage. The gorgeous plumage of the peacock 
is Juno-like, for that bird was sacred to her, and is constantly 
represented as accompanying her. Cancer, or the Crab, is the 
zodiacal sign of the month of June. The crab is a fitting repre¬ 
sentative because the sun during this month attains the farthest 
northern point reached during the summer solstice, and then begins 
its backward movement toward the equator. In a Grecian temple, 
accompanied by her favorite peacock, stands the superb figure of 
Juno, robed in white Grecian draperies, in the foreground of float 
No. 15. In the background, in front of the zodiacal sign for June, 
is the giant crab, clothed with seaweed, dancing upon a promontory 
overlooking the sea, in the sparkling waters of which are three 


23 



bathers, two men and a woman, dressed in modern bathing costumes 
of yellow and blue striped satin, forming a typical Manhattan beach 
picture. 



Float No. 16—JULY. — July, originally called Ouintillis, be¬ 
cause it was the fifth month of the Roman calendar, was re-chris¬ 
tened by Marc Antony in honor of Julius Caesar, whose natal month 
it was. It was called by the Anglo-Saxons Maed-Monath, or mead 
month, for then the meads or meadows were fully in bloom. The 
zodiacal sign is Leo, the Lion. A statue of the great Julius and 
of the lion rampant characteristically represents the month. The 
float representing July is of somewhat mixed mythological makeup. 
The American small boy and his inevitable companion are disport¬ 
ing in the center with a toy pistol, skyrocket, and waving the 
American flag with true American patriotism. In the foreground 
of the float stands the marble figure of the great Emperor. The 
base of the pedestal is adorned with a wreath of laurel. In the 
front of the zodiacal shield in the background (which in honor of 


our Independence day "is specially adorned with a pyrotechnic rim), 
stands with his four paws upon a rock promontory, old Leo himself. 



Float No. 17—AUGUST. —August was the sixth month in the 
old Roman calendar, and bore the name of Sextillis for that reason. 
The name was changed in honor of Augustus Ca;sar, as many of 
the decisive events of his career fell within its limits, and he con¬ 
ferred his name upon it, though not born during that month. Vir¬ 
go, the virgin, is its zodiacal sign. It is derived from the legend 
of Ishthar, the Assyrian Venus, who it was said descended into hades 
in search of her lost love. This sign is of purely mythological 
origin. The month may be properly represented by the statue of 
Augustus Ca;sar. The front of the float bears a splendid equestrian 
statue of Augustus Caesar, whose name is given to the month of 
August. Resplendent in a salmon-colored robe, relieved by silver 
brocade, two exquisitely shaded wings of pink gauze rising from 
her shoulders, Virgo—the virgin—stands before the golden shield 
bearing the zodiacal sign of the month. Her hair is held with 


-4 
















Grecian bands of glittering gold. Another figure, and one not al¬ 
together unfamiliar to modern eyes, during the torrid months is 
seen in the center industriously waving a palm leaf fan, while 



swinging in a hammock, and tenderly regarding the Grecian 
maiden. A thei'inometer hanging in the shade of a tree registers 
113 degrees. 

Float No. 18 — SEPTEMBER. — When the year began with 
March, September was the seventh month, and therefore most 
properly named. It is the month of harvest, of plenty, and the 
gathering of grain. Libra is the zodiacal sign; the figure with the 
mighty scales and balances represents the equal influence of heat 
and cold at that equinoctial season. Harvest festivals furnish the 
theme for the September float. A big grasshopper, with moving 
wings of gorgeous color, seems to be getting his share of the fun 
out of an enormous sheaf of wheat in the foreground, while a rustic 
swain, with rake and sickle, is having a whole centennial ball of his 
own, dancing with a buxom maiden in a high-colored calico gown 


25 



with big puffed sleeves and a sailor hat decked with hollyhocks and 
daisies. “ Libra,” with his mighty scales, depicting the evenly 
balanced heat and cold, stands in front of a golden sunburst at the 
rear. His costume of red and yellow tights and shirt, mahogany 


satin jacket, trimmed with silver points and embroidered in precious 
rubies, marks him a swell of the first magnitude. 

Float No. 19—OCTOBER .—October, as its name implies, was 
the eighth month of the Roman calendar. By the Anglo-Saxons it 
was called the Wein-Monath or Wine month, because of the ripen¬ 
ing of the grapes. Among both Greeks and Romans, and likewise 
the Anglo-Saxons, it was a notable month for the number of 
festivals; it was a month of happiness, of revelry, and unrestrained 
mirth. Therefore, the feasts of Bacchus are properly October 
feasts; and the wine-producing fruit of the vine, together with this 
merry god, are appropriate representatives. The increasing power 











of the cold over nature in this month is typified in the Scorpion, a 
destructive insect, and this is its zodiacal sign. The Scorpion, 
representing the increasing power of cold, glittering in golden 


splendor, shares the honors with Bacchus on the October float. 
Mounted upon a huge tiger, his brows decorated with a chaplet of 
leaves and grapes, the merry god, unmindful of the great serpent a 
few floats ahead, drinks tremendous bumpers from the golden 
flagon in his hand. His costume of crushed grape-colored velvet, 
with richly embroidered golden sunbursts, heavy purple cloak 
and rich jewels, is in sharp contrast to the animated pumpkin and 
bunch of grapes capering just behind him. 

Float No. 20—NOVEMBER. —November, the Anglo-Saxon 
Wint-Monath, or wind month, because of the gales that swept the 
Scandinavian mariners from the sea and into their winter harbors, 
was also sometimes called Blut-Monath, or Bloody month, because 
of the general custom of slaughtering the swine and cattle in prep¬ 
aration for the winter’s meat. Diana, the goddess of the chase, 


“the heavenly huntress,” presides over this month. It is repre¬ 
sented by the wild animals, such as are followed by huntsmen. 
Sagitarius, with the body of a horse, the trunk, head, and arms of 
a man, is its zodiacal sign, as it is said to express emblematically 
the growing predominance of cold which in this month shoots 
earthward, suspends vegetation, therefore destroying the life of 
nature until the coming spring. In the foreground of the Novem¬ 
ber float stands Diana, the huntress, with her spear. She is dressed 
in lemon-colored brocaded satin tunic, over a skirt of blue satin, a 



richly chased golden girdle encircling her waist. The Thanksgiv¬ 
ing turkey, dear to the followers of Moses Cleaveland, struts with 
a stately step around the float. On a platform in the rear stands 
Sagitarius, * the Centaur Archer, who shoots the frost into the 
ground. Behind him shines the zodiacal shield. 

Float No. 21—DECEMBER. —The tenth month of the ancient 
calendar was known as December by the Anglo-Saxons. It was 
called the winter-month. St. Nicholas was the patron of the month, 
and the legends of the marvelous doings of this beneficent old 










saint, and his exhaustive labors in behalf of childhood, is yet fresh 
in the minds of every boy and girl who is blessed with a pair of 
stockings to hang up. Capricornus, the climbing goat, is its zodiacal 
sign. This sign represents allegorically the ascent of the sun, 
which after reaching its lowest declination on the 21st of the month 
begins to move on its upward path. On this float the great goat, 
Capricornus, who represents December zodiacally, rears his glis¬ 
tening golden horns aloft and walks sedately to and fro, delighted to 
be an honored guest of the Centennial City. St. Nicholas, with rein¬ 
deers, bells, and sleigh full of stocking-filling goodies, is also seen 



riding at full speed, as if he knew—the sly old fellow—that the 
children were waiting for a glimpse of his merry face and a peep 
into that wonderful knapsack. Under the light of myriads of 
electric globes the frost sparkles and shimmers upon the diamond- 
spangled Christmas trees at the rear of the float; and thus, with 
joyous thoughts of the full Christmas tide, the months end their 
story. 


27 


Float No. 22—THE YEAR.— This float is designed to be a 
symbolic condensation of the twelve months into the year. In the 
center of the platform is a mighty globe, floating upon billows of 
clouds, and on its dome is seated a majestic figure robed in a long 
serise-colored gown, richly decorated, and with a golden crown 
upon his head. At his feet, on the four corners of the platform. 



are the seasons, represented by female figures. In a zone en¬ 
circling the globe are set twelve signs of the zodiac, Aries the 
Ram; Ta\irus, the Bull; Gemini, the Twins; Cancer, the Crab; 
Leo,the Lion; Virgo, the Virgin; Libra, the Balance; Scorpio, the 
Scorpion; Sagitarius, the Archer; Capricornus, the Goat; Aqua¬ 
rius, the Water Carrier; and Pisces, the Fishes. The entire float is 
profusely decorated with festoons of flowers. The four seasons are 
appropriately and beautifully costumed. Spring bears a basket of 
flowers, and wears a wreath of blossoms. Her sister, Summer, is 
armed with a sickle, and bears a sheaf of golden grain. Autumn 
contributes her well-laden basket of various fruits; while Winter, 
in her snow-white covering, is emblematic of the ice-bound and 
snow-covered earth. 




Float No. 23—THE CENTURY —The passing of the centuiy 
is illustrated by the twenty-third float, the foreground of which repre¬ 
sents a picture of clouds hovering above trees and the roofs of 
houses. Above this rises the figure of Father Time, standing upon 
the back of an immense bird which is sailing through space, and 
behind Father Time is a personage representing the closing century. 
He is arrayed in a costume which epitomizes the prevailing fash¬ 
ions. He steers the bird in its flight by means of hidden mechanism 



which causes the wings to move and the tail to sway from side to 
side. A great dial plate is around its neck, marking the flight of 
the hours. Tightly bound in swaddling clothes, and suspended 
from the bird’s neck, is an infant representing the new century. 
Father Time is decorated with the customary hour-glass and scythe, 
his patriarchal white beard sweeps down over a tunic of delicate 
mauve, satin trimmed, relieved by means of white gauze. 


Float No. 24—CLEVELAND OF 1896.— The winged wheel of 
commerce glistens at the front of the float. Seated in the center 
are two beautiful women dressed in shimmering white bro¬ 
caded satin; one a perfect blonde, the other a decided brunette. 
The one holds in her hands a palette and brush; at her feet, amid 
specimens of the plastic art, rests a golden harp. These are em¬ 
blematic of painting, sculpture, and music. The other bears the

pyramid of wheat and corn, interspersed with flowers. At the rear 
of the float rises a magnificent arched dome, supported by ornately 



carved pillars of gold. In golden characters the legend “ Cleve¬ 
land, 1896,” shines from the front of the arch; while beneath it, 
surrounded by a huge cogwheel, anvil, and other emblems of the 
mechanic arts, stands a splendid specimen of intelligent, muscular 
manhood, holding in his hands a hammer and compasses, represent¬ 
ing “ Skilled Labor.” The platform is also adorned with speci¬ 
mens of the architects’, the bridge builders’, and shipbuilders’ art. 
Cloth of gold and richly embroidered maroon plush form the up¬ 
holstery and hangings of the float.
